Hello fellow SRP'ers. I am completely new to this style of shaving. In fact, so new I haven't even started yet!. I was referred here by Dylan and I just bought a razor and strop from him that should be here early next week.
I figure after 30 years of using cartridge and canned cream/gel, I'm ready for something new. Perhaps I may find this to be in error, but I hope not. Time will tell.
I do suffer from OCD according to my wife. lol. I enjoy fine cigars (as does she thankfully) and I have a feeling I may get into this just as much. As I sit here typing this, I am seriously considering heading out the door to hit some antique shops in hopes of starting a collection. I know, I haven't even USED a SR yet.
Anyway, you can all blame Dylan for me being here, and I've been reading and reading through all the beginner info hoping to prepare myself better for next week.
I've been out to the pharmacy's and all I can find is Williams soap for $1.50. I'm really hoping to find someone with a sampler of the Wool fat, Tabac and whatever else I can try out to see what I like most. I did find some Kiss My Face in cool mint here but mint is not really my style. I don't necessarily want my face smelling like toothpaste. :)
Anyway, I'll cut this short (too late I know). Thanks for the forum and all the great info. Happy to be here.
